Any new Manager news?

Lomans to add some coaching names to there management.

The news of David Martin to Milltown i hear is Fake News. St.Josephs parted ways with another manager getting them to a final 2 years in a row ?

Hearing down here that David Martin to Ballymahon. Milltown might not be an attractive job if Daragh Hynes and Jack Murtagh going travelling.
All very quiet in

Caulry have great ambitions with there appointments. They have invested a lot into coaching and facilities. Shane Curran and Owen Mooney ( coached St Brigids to Connacht title at weekend). Pat Flanagan and Joe Quinn from Clara both have had plenty of success. Nigel Dineen has done good work with Roscommon underage teams. But would they be better served by going with an in house manager next. Bring in an outside coach to assist . Lomans, the Downs,. Kinnegad and Shamrocks all served well by in house managers this year.

Its going to be far from easy getting back up to Div 2. Any news on the ins and outs for the new season? Obviously the Bear and Jamie are gone. Will Ronan O Toole be back from his travels?.

Completely agree with you . You cant beat a local man to go in with real passion for success for their club.

Just look at Danny sammon at tubberclaire. Gary Dolan at Garrycastle . Paddy dowdall at Lomans.

Even look at the lower teams,

Foley at castledaly , Michael Ennis at ballinagore.

Also if you do go local as manager, outside trainer is only real expense as local managers aren't as pricey

I also forgot my own club man , Eoin Jordan , what he brought to our club over last number if year was excellent.
